Maggie Dobra, a strawberry blonde eighth grader, stood on a stage in Derry last Thursday to accept an award for her art.
“I just kind of painted what I felt,” she said, fidgeting nervously.
Projected behind her was the award-winning painting of a battered and tear-streaked person held up by puppet strings comprised of words like “starve,” “100lbs” and “healthy.”

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office says that school mask mandates are legal, in spite of pushback by some parents, lawmakers and school board members.
School districts and private schools are receiving calls and emails alleging that requiring students to wear masks is akin to forms of child restraint prohibited by state law.
The cited law, RSA 126-U:4, was passed in 2010 to prevent face-down restraint that impedes breathing on children who are exhibiting behavioral issues.
A letter on the conservative website Granite Grok that argues for the “right to breathe freely and the right to refuse medical experiments” credits the group Rebuild NH, formerly Reopen NH, for flagging RSA 126 in an effort to end masks mandates in schools. Some Republican lawmakers, including state Rep. Al Baldasaro of Londonderry, have posted about the law on social media.
